Even if you didn’t watch Sunday’s Golden Globes, you probably saw Chris Colfer’s acceptance speech via Facebook or Twitter. The speech reminded me of another speech by an openly gay award recipient.

In case you missed it, here’s what “Glee” star Chris Colfer said:

His anti-bullying message resonates painfully in the wake of the recent suicides. His speech made me think of the 2009 Oscar acceptance speech by Dustin Lance Black, who won for his screenplay for “Milk,” about the assassination of openly gay politician Harvey Milk.

Black said,

When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas to California and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life, it gave me the hope to one day live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married.

I want to thank my mom who has always loved me for who I am, even when there was pressure not to. But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than by their churches or by the government or by their families that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights, federally, across this great nation of ours. Thank you, thank you, and thank you God for giving us Harvey Milk.

Here’s the video of that speech:
